The Ultimate Bucketlist

Well, here it is. The much talked about list of things to do before I die! 

One day I decided that there was no reason to wait until I was on my death bed. We are dying from the day we are born, and the only thing we can do is make the best of it! Go... See... Do... And that's what I plan on doing! 

The list is ever changing, I add at least one new thing every few weeks, and try to mark one off a month. Sometimes I wont mark something off the list completely because a few of the items are multiple steps, and will require lots of time to complete them! 

I manage it all through a website called bucketlist.org, which gives me the ability to elaborate and add details about each item. Here is the link:
